Explore different ways of being

It's fun to watch the kids in the Children's Program explore and open to different ways of being with themselves and others as we talk, read, and play our way through monthly program themes like friendship, mindfulness, compassion, and patience

More quiet in my life

I knew I needed to have more quiet in my life before I came to the Zen Center, but I had no idea just how much I needed it.

Deepen my practice

Expect to be impatient with some aspects of zen practice, but don't discount what you don't immediately "get." For a long time I was frustrated by chanting and walking; wanting to get to the more familiar sitting meditation. But over time I've come to appreciate the subtle power of joining my voice and movements to those around me to deepen my practice.

It was time for me to pick a door

It was time for me to pick a door. Inside I was welcomed by folks with a sense of humor and a warm curiosity who offered a place to sit.

Warm connection
